Alexander Barkov fe555b9c5f MDEV-23415 Server crash or Assertion `dec_length <= str_length' failed in Item_func_format::val_str_ascii ...

Problem:

The crash happened in FORMAT(double, dec>=31, 'de_DE').

The patch for MDEV-23118 (commit 0041dacc1b)
did not take into account that String::set_real() has a limit of 31
(FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS) fractional digits. So for the range of 31..38
digits, set_real() switches to use:
- my_fcvt() - decimal point notation, e.g. 1.9999999999
- my_gcvt() - scientific notation,    e.g. 1e22

my_gcvt() returned a shorter string than Item_func_format::val_str_ascii()
expected to get after the my_fcvt() call, so it crashed on assert.

Solution:

We cannot extend set_real() to use the my_fcvt() mode for the range of
31..38 fractional digits, because set_real() is used in a lot of places
and such a change will break everything.

Introducing String::set_fcvt() which always prints using my_fcvt()
for the whole range of decimals 0..38, supported by the FORMAT() function.
